I think synthetic was the wrong word there.
Then how can you say that one person can't compete because they are trans* but that another person can compete despite having exactly the same hormone levels as afore mentioned trans* person?
Just seems a bit discriminatory.
Again, it's an equality issue, not a sporting issue.
